History of The Werewolf:
The Werewolf (or Lycanthrope, as known by the Greeks) is a human who has the ability to shape-shift into wolf or anthropomorphic wolf like creature. Normally a Werewolf will transform from a "Full Moon" beyond one's own control. The Disease (as you might call it) spreads by bite/scratch marks from another Werewolf or a infected wolf. The Werewolf can only be commonly killed by a "silver bullet" or any form of real silver that penetrates it. The term "Werewolf" is broken down in two parts. The first part "Were" (or "Wer") comes from old English where it meant "Man". The second part "Wolf", refers to simply a what was before domesticated dogs, most commonly looking like a "Husky", but only with different eye and fur color. A Werewolf is more commonly said to have specific traits when in human form such as curved nails, eyebrow lines meeting, and more low set-pointed ears! Many believed ways to cure " Lycanthrope" were proved to be quite fatal and had many horrific consequences most being during Medieval Times!
Werewolf's overall are said to have existed long in the past leaving many traces of destruction and chaos, life had to be accommodated for one who did become such a beast and once you were there wasn't much likely hood for a cure without death. The Werewolf became a deadly icon in and out culture and are now some of the most popular Mythological Creatures alive. The story will always change for them, but it's said that they'v still lived in some of the darkest reaches of are time waiting to show there true faces once again and reap the true rewards of a fresh kill and fresh meat...!
Notes:
I will take any request to better this as long as it's not to outrageous! I want to keep most of the basic design from this, feel free to be harsh over your views. I want to help better this for everyone! I also am aware that Werewolf's don't have giant creepy smiles, just wanted to add it and give it some character!
